All secondary school teachers of Khyber Pukhtunkhwah (KP) were considered as the population of the study. A sample of 480 teachers form 80 schools of five (5) districts (96 teachers to each district) was randomly selected. The sample was further distributed into eight (8) strata of male/female, urban/rural, science/arts, and public/private through stratified random sampling techniques such that the number of teachers in each stratum remains 240. The data was collected through a self-prepared questionnaire of reliability 0.87 and was analyzed through statistical tools. The analyzed data reflected that mostly teachers (62.7%) were in practice to utilize time management strategies. Further it was found that: male teachers were superior to female teachers; urban teachers were superior to the rural school teachers; science teachers were superior to the arts teachers; and public school teachers were superior to the private school teachers in classroom time management strategies CTMS; and. Classroom management oriented refresher courses for female teachers may be arranged to abridge gender gap in various CTMS and these strategies should be stressed more frequently in curriculum and pre-service teacher trainings.

American President Barak Obama said on Third Annual White House Science Fair in April 2013 that “One of the things that I’ve been focused on as President is how we create an all-hands-on-deck approach to science, technology, engineering, and math… We need to make this a priority to train an army of new teachers in these subject areas and to make sure that all of us as a country are lifting up these subjects for the respect that they deserve”. This single part of the speech pinpoint the importance of STEM education and backbone of it “Teachers”. Cross disciplinary appeals have manifold appeals. Same is in the field of school education. Once it’s a time, science has a leading role at elementary and secondary school level. Then engineering becomes the prominent figure but when technology comes, all other fields merged in it. Mathematics remains the mother of all subjects. Now, it’s a time of STEM integrated education where STEM is the acronym of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. STEM is not only confined to an acronym but also leads to the change of education system or approach from the root level. Presented study aimed at to highlight the secondary school teachers’ perception regarding STEM education. As it’s a new and novel concept, so not a big deal of work has done on it. So, existing literature was analyzed systematically to highlight the importance, challenges and future of STEM education which surely helpful to introduce in the developing countries like Pakistan. Presented study just focused on the perception and viewpoints of teachers who are working at elementary or secondary school level. Study concluded that teachers are highly motivated and confident for the STEM integrated education but there is a dire need to give suitable policy for this new trend of education which ultimately addresses the issues of curriculum, pedagogy, learning environment, career developers and future of the learners

This paper examines the challenges posed by discourse markers (DM) for learners at secondary school level of French as a foreign language (FFL), based on a corpus of samples of written work by FFL students. The first section looks at how DM are presented and described in the textbooks and dictionaries used by secondary school teachers and learners. The next section focuses on organizational discourse markers, with an analysis of student errors in the corpus. The range of semantic possibilities explored in the case of enfin and finalement offers a good illustration of the difficulties faced by teachers and learners alike in the acquisition of DM, due to the multifunctionality of the particles and their formal similarity to the Spanish DM en fin and finalmente. The final section makes some observations regarding the effectiveness of teaching DM systematically from the earliest stages of FFL learning, based on recent work by Donís Pérez (2014).
